FiiO Hybrid IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread
Just real quick, the FA19 has a uniquely fuller overall sound in the bass and the mids than in the FH9. There is no placebo effect, it's an obvious upgrade. And while there is always certain undeniable warmth to dynamic drivers for bass and sub bass, the four "vented" BA drivers used for bass...- ericp10

FiiO Hybrid IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread
It's not a hybrid, but I'm about to see how Fiio's new King compares (just came in). :beerchug: Beautiful shells! My photo does it no justice!- ericp10

Aful Performer Impressions Thread
I have the P5, and more recently, I purchased the P8 (I own the Thieaudio Monarch 3, which is my favorite right now, and have the Fiio FA19 coming, along with the IO Audio Volare). I must admit I find the P8 quite the performer (no pun intended) for the price. I hardly ever listen to the P5...- ericp10

SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2
After about five months with four DAPs mentioned above, to my surprise, the Sony WM1AM2 is the clear favorite! It just has a warmth and lush sounds that reminds me of some of the best high-end audiophile systems I've heard in my lifetime. Next would be the AK SP2000T and then the Fiio M11 Plus...- ericp10

SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2
Well, I went DAP-crazy over the holidays and picked up the WM1AM2 along with the Astell&Kern SP2000T and A&K SR35 (for portable) use. Oh, I picked up a Fiio M11Plus too about a month earlier (I love different sound signatures). The SP2000T is superb with its hybrid tube amp, but I think right...- ericp10

Thieaudio Monarch MKIII impressions, reviews, and pictures thread
I've been away for a minute, Head-Fi family, but a package holding these jewels made its way to my doorstep yesterday. I'm using an old Plenue DAP I found in one of my underwear drawers, and right now I'm listening to Barry White's "Playing Your Game Baby"! And those who know me know I am a...- ericp10

FiiO&JadeAudio Over-Ear Headphones Discussion & Impressions Thread
I don't. The earpads aren't any smaller than the average full-sized cans. The Focal Clear's pads, however, are wider (for what it's worth). And there is just the right amount of clamp forth and fell somewhat light across the head and over the ears. For me, they are comfortable.- ericp10

FiiO&JadeAudio Over-Ear Headphones Discussion & Impressions Thread
Let me get this out of the way: I believe in burn-in and I believe most headphones and earphones can change drastically after 50-100 hours of the process. With that stated, initial impressions of the FT3 are very impressive! FiiO continues on its trend upward with its sound visions! I would say...- ericp10

you must keep two headphones only
Right now I'm really digging the KLH Ultimate One (a severely underrated headphone). I like many of Z reviews, but he totally missed the boat on these during his youtube review a few years ago. Second one? Hmmm? Tough. I need to think about it a little longer (I like Thinksound ov21, NAD Viso...- ericp10

WiiM Streamers Mini and Pro
I just hooked up the WiiM Pro yesterday. It has blown my mind with the sound quality! I had no idea a streamer could sound this good. I don't even use the advanced Bluetooth connection in it. I use AirPlay 2 and Chromecast through my iPhone 12 Max Pro. They work seamlessly with my Yamaha A-S801...- ericp10

The discovery thread!
Hello, FreeWheelinAudioLuv2: I still enjoy mine and a bit jealous of the great price fellow head-fiers can purchase them for now (I paid about $800 for mine back in the day...lol). I probably will buy a second pair when I catch them on sale again. Enjoy!- ericp10

For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?
Thinksound ov21 (full-size closed wood cans) has been my go-to for most of the year now. Then my Sennheiser (Drop) HD6XX.- ericp10

Would speakers made in 2000 be a safe buy in 2022?
I have a pair of Nautulis 804s by B&W that I bought in 1999. They sound even better than when I purchased them over 20 years ago. and they look great! It all depends on how the products were made and how the owner has taken care of them over the years. -
GOOD-LOOKING speakers for bedroom or second livingroom? (Airplay enabled)
I just bought a pair for use as my desktop speakers. OMG! The best bookshelf (powered bookshelf/desk) speaker I've ever heard in my life! Before burn-in, a sub, or anything, the bass is a beast! And the micro-details, vocal clarity, and mids are outstanding. More thoughts to come as I dig deeper...- ericp10

AKG's New Flagship IEM - N5005
Unfortunately, that's the biggest flaw of an otherwise brilliant-sounding iem! A cable switch may be hazardous to the earphone's health. If you can find these gems for $299 now, it is worth the risk! For me, I keep the Bluetooth cable on mine to make the ultimate wireless earphone. I think mine...- ericp10

Thinksound ov21! A Full-Size Listening Experience of the Acclaimed Wood Earphones With Amazing Timbre!
Yes, the OV21 has become my go-to everyday full-size headphone for listening! It used to be the Sennheiser HD6XX (and I still own the Beyerdynamic T1, B&W P7, and a few other full-size headphones). I just haven't heard anything - for the money - that gives me great clarity in mids, a nice bass...- ericp10
